At the beginning of the 2022/23 school year, a new secondary school option was approved by the Board of Education for students in grade 9-12 looking to complete their education while in training for high performance programs for athletics or the arts. The secondary school is located inside the Eagle Ridge Community Centre and welcomed its inaugural class of students in January 2023. The school was temporarily known as Eagle Ridge Secondary School.
A consultation process for a permanent name of the secondary school began in September 2023. The process involved students, parents/caregivers, staff, school community members and the Indigenous Nations the Sooke School District works with (T'Sou-ke Nation, Sc'ianew Nation, Pacheedaht Nation, Esquimalt Nation and Songhees Nation). The Nations determined the gifting of a name would come through Sc'ianew Nation, which is the nearest nation to the school location.
